The recently released Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 had massive hype behind it. The game was breaking records even in its early beta. Now, when the game is officially out, it is witnessing a level of success no one could have imagined. 

In the world of FPS, Call of Duty is rarely rivaled by any other title. The series has a massive loyal fanbase and reputation in the world of gaming. Call of Duty games is one of the “best sellers” in big consoles, such as Xbox and PlayStation.

With the latest release, Call of Duty is touching heights that were unexpected. As Modern Warfare 2 hits the record of the game with the highest number of “Active Players” for a while, leaving behind some of the biggest “free-to-play” titles in the world. 

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 becomes the Highest played game on Steam for some time

Usually, the steam charts are dominated by “Free-to-play” games. These games allow the players to enjoy the game without paying for a download. Which in terms results in massive player bases for these titles. But CoD is an exception to this. 

Modern Warfare 2 is far away from being a free game. It has a high price tag of $70, which has become the norm in the current AAA games. But that doesn’t affect the player base at all. As this premium game was competing against Free-to-play games for the top place in the most-played games chart on steam, ever since its release. 

And on November 17, 2022, CoD MW2 was successful in reaching that milestone. Online CoD news provider CharlieIntel reported the news on Twitter from their official Twitter account. They wrote, “Modern Warfare II x Warzone 2 is the #1 game on Steam right now, with over 450,000 people online.” In the Steam list, it could be seen that CoD had managed to surpass Multiplayer FPS giant Counter-Strike and legendary MOBA Dota 2, for a while.
